If Bill Cunningham were documenting fashion on the streets of Minneapolis, Maryam Sarreshteh would regularly make the cut. “Finding a good everyday street look is the best exercise we can have in finding our unique style,” says the Iranian beauty, who has cultivated her daring high-low approach to fashion over years of experimentation—she’ll pair Isabel Marant with Superga, rag & bone jeans with Zara tops and Nach Bijoux jewelry.

“I love when people ask what I’m wearing because it’s what I do,” says Sarreshteh, who took her hobby for high-end consigning and turned it into The Solidago—an online upscale resale boutique that draws clients from all over. She collects their good-as-new Louboutins, Phillip Lim blouses, and Megan Park dresses in her 1,500-square-foot St. Louis Park warehouse, then sells them on eBay at a 50/50 margin.

There are times the fashion hound can’t help purchasing a piece for herself—like this oversized tan trench coat by IAN R.N. (pictured), which, when thrown over any outfit, gives her that street edge she’s always after, even when picking up her 7-year-old twins from school.
